Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Maybe this is more broadly useful on x86 hardware, but I personally haven't seen such cases (if they exist, then the remainder of this post is to be ignored), so I think this would be a good case for mozes to add a package to Slackware ARM which isn't in the x86 tree.

Hi Rob,

I2C Tools is very useful for monitoring parameters on PC motherboards and embedded systems. Such as voltages, temperatures, fan speeds, etc. It can also be invaluable for troubleshooting I2C and SMBus issues. I'll grant you that it's perhaps more useful on sbc ARM devices, but I still believe there's many applications for it on x86 architecture and therefore a good thing to have available for any Slackware system.
